Site News: BMW Roundel Replacement from JleviSW

At dealer ship I paid $35 for a piece a plastics disc. The dealer will offer rubber plugs but it's won't be needed. You can use the existing plugs that are stuck right on there. The plugs will be hard to remove but still usable.

How about the emblem on the steering wheel? Is that one glued on?

That one sticks right on top of the OEM one

So if I wanted to purchase this for my e46 M3 I would order the following part number:

BMW Part Number Ending in 052 - Black & Silver Carbon Fiber [CRUXXX052] 72mm Diameter.

Also, this includes Front Hood, Rear Bumper, 4 Wheels and Steering Wheel Emblems?

For the M3 you need a CRUXXX375 for the front, a CRUXXX237 for the rear, and (4) of the CRUXXXWHL for the wheels, as well as a CRUXXXSTW for the steering wheel.

Subtotal $135. Price for OEM non-CF roundels, $175

Can anyone tell me where I could find some white/ dark pink roundels without using cheesy sticker overlays????

Hey Levi... Can u tell me if the roundels for the 2002 325ci for hood n trunk are 82 mm?

Wonder how long before BMW catches on that someone else is selling items with their registered trademark?

Ordered a much needed front one for my E36 last night. Just wish they offered a rear one for the vert.

x2 they need to offer a 60mm for the E46 vert as well.

Got my blue/silver roundel today. Very fast shipping!
Very nice looking piece indeed.

*nevermind, the video answered my question.

what, no steering wheel?

...still a nice video


...after further research of the steering wheel logo, apparently it cannot be removed without having to replace the airbag, thus the overlay.

-thanks

I know I like how mine turned out. Had them for about a year now. Got them all the way around (trunk, hood, wheels, and steering wheel).

x3 It seems that NOBODY is offering the 60mm for the convertible (non-overlay)

BMW entered existence as a business entity following a restructuring of the Rapp Motorenwerke aircraft engine manufacturing firm in 1917. After the end of World War I in 1918, BMW was forced to cease aircraft engine production by the terms of the Versailles Armistice Treaty. The company consequently shifted to motorcycle production in 1923 once the restrictions of the treaty started to be lifted, followed by automobiles in 1928–29. The circular blue and white BMW logo or roundel is portrayed by BMW as the movement of an aircraft propeller, to signify the white blades cutting through the blue sky – an interpretation that BMW adopted for convenience in 1929, twelve years after the roundel was created. The emblem evolved from the circular Rapp Motorenwerke company logo, from which the BMW company grew, combined with the blue and white colours of the flag of Bavaria, reversed to produce the BMW roundel. However, the origin of the logo being based on the movement of a propeller is in dispute, according to an article posted in 2010 by the New York Times, quoting "At the BMW Museum in Munich, Anne Schmidt-Possiwal, explained that the blue-and-white company logo did not represent a spinning propeller, but was meant to show the colours of the Free State of Bavaria."
